International Student Involvement
Student Organizations
Join one of these student-run clubs to get connected to others all across campus. Student organizations are a great way to find a community on campus that feels like home.
GSO
Global Students Org (GSO)
GSO is a student organization committed to serving international students by meeting their practical, relational, and spiritual needs through tailored events. As a GSO member, you'll find a safe space and a sense of belonging — your home away from home. You'll connect on a regular basis with other members through dinners, Bible studies, and other activities.
Beyond these regular activities, GSO hosts many events throughout the year, focusing on fun, practical needs, and spiritual growth. Highlights include the GSO Olympics, where regions compete in outdoor games, a Christmas party, an international worship night, and a tax party (with music and snacks!) to help you file your taxes. Through these events, you'll strengthen the bonds you share with other international students, have your practical needs met, and grow spiritually. GSO primarily serves non-immigrant visa holders but also considers new members outside this category through a brief application process.
